Tasawwur karein ek aisay mulk ka jiske paas itni dolat ho ke agar woh apne tamam shehrion (citizens) mein barabar taqseem ki jaye, to har fard (individual) ke hissay mein 1 Crore Pakistani rupaye se bhi zayed aaye. Yeh koi khayali kahani nahi, balke Norway ki haqeeqat hai. Norway ne apne qudrati wasail (natural resources), khaas taur par tel (oil), ko is aql-mandi se istemal kiya hai ke aaj unka sovereign wealth fund 2 trillion dollar ki had ko uboor (cross) kar chuka hai. Yeh Norway ka sovereign wealth fund na sirf tareekh ka sab se bara fund hai, balke yeh mustaqbil ki planning aur awam ki falah (welfare) ki ek be-misaal dastan hai.
From Black Gold to Golden Future (Siyah Sonay Se Sunehri Mustaqbil Tak)
Is kahani ka aaghaz 1960s ki dahai (decade) mein hua jab Norway ke samandari ilaqay mein tel ke وسیع (vast) zakahir (reserves) daryaft hue. Bohat se mulkon ki tarah, Norway bhi is achanak milnay wali dolat ko fori taur par kharch kar sakta tha. Lekin unhon ne ek mukhtalif aur door-andesh (far-sighted) raasta chuna. Unhon ne faisla kiya ke yeh “siyah sona” (black gold) kisi ek nasl (generation) ka nahi, balke anay wali tamam naslon ka haq hai. Isi soch ke tehet, unhon ne 1990 mein “Government Pension Fund Global” qayam kiya. Is fund ka maqsad tel ki aamdani ko mustaqbil ke liye invest karna tha, na ke usay maujooda ikhrajat (expenses) mein ura dena.
How the Fund Works: A Smart Strategy (Fund Kaise Kaam Karta Hai: Ek Smart Hikmat-e-Amli)
Norway ka sovereign wealth fund duniya bhar mein sarmayakari (investment) karta hai. Iska paisa hazaron companies ke shares, real estate, aur bonds mein laga hua hai. Lekin iski sarmayakari andha-dhund nahi hai.
- Aalmi Sarmayakari (Global Investment): Fund ne 9,000 se zayed companies mein sarmayakari ki hai jo 70 se zayed mulkon mein phaili hui hain. Is se risk kam hota hai.
- Ikhlaqi Usool (Ethical Guidelines): Fund intehai sakht ikhlaqi usoolon par kaam karta hai. Yeh aisi companies mein sarmayakari nahi karta jo tambaku (tobacco), kuch khaas qisam ke hathyar, ya mahol (environment) ko sangeen nuqsan pohanchanay mein mulawwis (involved) hon.
Norway apne paisay kahan invest karta hai iska jawab hai: duniya bhar mein, lekin sirf zimadari ke sath.
The Benefits for Every Citizen (Har Shehri Ke Liye Fawaid)
Yeh 2 trillion dollar ki raqam sirf kaghazon par nahi hai; iska faida Norway ke har shehri ki zindagi mein nazar aata hai. Is fund ki aamdani se Norway apne shehrion ko woh sahuliyat (facilities) faraham karta hai jinka bohat se mulkon mein log sirf khwab dekh sakte hain:
- Muft Sehat (Free Healthcare): Har shehri ke liye aala miyar ka tibbi ilaaj bilkul muft hai.
- Muft Taleem (Free Education): School se le kar university tak, tamam taleem muft hai.
- Mehfooz Retirement: Har burhay (elderly) shakhs ko ek shandaar pension milti hai, jis se unka budhapa aasani se guzarta hai.
- Behtareen Infrastructure: Mulk bhar mein shandaar sarkein, hospitals, aur schools isi fund ki badolat hain.
A Lesson for the World (Duniya Ke Liye Ek Sabaq)
Norway ki kahani un tamam mulkon ke liye ek sabaq hai jinhein qudrat ne wasail se nawaza hai. Tel ki aamdani se mulk kaise taraqqi karta hai, iska is se behtar jawab nahi ho sakta. Norway ne saabit kiya hai ke agar siyasi irada (political will) aur door-andeshi ho, to qudrati dolat ko aane wali naslon ke liye ek mehfooz aur khush-haal mustaqbil ki zamanat (guarantee) mein tabdeel kiya ja sakta hai. Yeh sirf maashi (economic) kamyabi nahi, balke ek samaji (social) kamyabi bhi hai.
